More specifically: It ignores packages which are not arch :all or :armel
in this file. Your libc6-armel-cross package is :amd64.

Its done more or less on intension as files which have a specific
architecture (in this case armel) shouldn't include other architectures
by design. Could be changed, sure, but i am unsure if this should be done.
APT has done it that way since ever so far
(expect the experimental versions in which i broke it…).

(dpkg/status and flat Packages files are different, from these APT will
include all packages included in the Architectures list).


Best regards,
